Waunakee by the numbers
Why newer floors need a different approach
Waunakee grew from 6,027 people in 1990 to 14,901 in 2020 (population counts), and many floors here are newer, and newer floors often have less wear. Often a recoat is smarter than a full sand.
Waunakee sits along Six Mile Creek, and Dane County's hazard plan for the village covers floods and tornadoes (Dane County hazard plan). If a flood or a leak soaked your floor, call us before you refinish: moisture damage has to be fixed first, and see repair.
Floor services in Waunakee
Three services fit most Waunakee homes.
Screen and Recoat
Newer Waunakee floors often only need a recoat, which spares the wood for later.
Screen and Recoat →Floor Staining and Color Change
Many families here want a lighter, more modern color, and we explain what it takes to go lighter.
Floor Staining and Color Change →Dustless Floor Sanding
Newer homes with big open rooms collect dust everywhere, and vacuum-connected sanders shrink the cleanup.
Dustless Floor Sanding →If your home is older
Farmhouses and older village homes may predate 1978, and Wisconsin's lead rule covers paid work that disturbs paint in those homes (Wisconsin DHS). See the lead rule guide.
